[h3]WHAT AWAITS PLAYTESTERS[/h3]

You’ll be able to experience:
- The first chapter of the Undead campaign, led by the Chaos Lord — introducing the story and core gameplay mechanics.
- The “Skirmish” mode (previously unavailable in the demo version).
- 3 playable factions (Humans, Undead, Inquisition) out of 9 planned in total (1 in the campaign + 2 in Skirmish mode).
- Full animations for all units, dialogue portraits, and castles.
- The ability to share your feedback via a Google Form.
- Two Steam achievements.
- Exclusive rewards for playtest participants.

[h3]🏆 EXCLUSIVE REWARDS[/h3]
By participating in the playtest and completing specific objectives, each player will be able to unlock unique equipment for their units.
These rewards will be granted in the full game once all conditions are met. Let’s take a closer look:

First reward - an enhanced axe for your Zombie unit. It significantly boosts its starting damage. By default, you cannot purchase it in the shop at the beginning of the game. However, don’t worry - it becomes available later in the campaign once you’ve collected the required resources. This reward simply grants early access to equipping the Zombie unit with the axe.



Second reward - an improved healing potion. It restores significantly more health and is a unique consumable item. This potion is available only to playtest participants and is single-use.



These rewards will be especially valuable for players who enjoy higher difficulty levels.

Conditions for earning the rewards:
- Add the game to your Wishlist.
- Follow the publisher on Steam: Valkyrie Initiative
- Earn the Steam achievement "Strategist" during the playtest.

To unlock the "Strategist" achievement, you must complete the campaign content available in the playtest without losing a single unit - on any difficulty.

[h3]The playtest is scheduled for Q1 2026.[/h3]
When the playtest begins, you will receive a notification. In the meantime, you can already complete the first step - add the game to your Wishlist to ensure you don’t miss the launch.

Hey everyone!
Today is a very special day for me.
[h3]Dreamout is out now![/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Yes, this isn’t my first game, but it’s a very special one for me. I’ve poured my heart into this project. Dreamout was created from a simple idea - “about a drunken alpaca wandering the world.”

If you enjoy absurd humor and adventures where nothing goes according to plan - give Dreamout a try.
To celebrate the release, there’s a 15% discount during the first week!

- A descent into darkness:
Enter the service of an influential Italian noble house, surrounded by enviers and grudge-bearers, and take on the role of a bodyguard who will protect its members from the dangers that lurk everywhere and the traps set by their enemies. Descend into darkness as you make your way through the Venice's underworld that will confront you with powerful secret societies, mysticism, blood feuds and the many vices and sins of human nature.

- More than a dozen new characters:
From members of various Italian noble houses and famous condottierros to the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire himself.

- Europe-spanning adventure:
Visit Italy, France, Holy Roman Empire and the Outremer all within one continuous campaign.

Each with their own unique story and character.
